Manner of dress: Do I have to dress up when I attend performances?
Most people dress up when they participate in a concert or an opera (Nice pants and shirt. Coat and Tie is sometimes overkill). But for Kung Fu or Acrobatic shows, people dress casually (T-Shirt and jeans). You will find that, in general, China is much more informal than the West. In reality, you can go anyplace with a nice pants and a nice shirt. Your Western tour group may set more of the dress code than China. Westerners like to dress up in coat and tie. Chinese do not nearly as much.
